Wrap yourself around an issue and become a social media marketing guru.
You don’t have to be a great writer to get social media attention. Just “own” another issue and you can make some hay for yourself. Its simple to do:
Step 1: Find an issue or topic you believe in, or are well versed in, and have an opinion you would like to share about the topic.
Step 2: Seek out articles about that topic. Find them on Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, etc. Twitter is the perfect channel for this!
Step 3: Share the article, with your comments. Simple right?
More: There are two ways to share on your topic, “for” or “against”. Sometimes disagreeing with the article can get you even more notoriety. I don’t shy away from being controversial. For example, when the U.S. Post Office starts in with their annual postage rates increases, my rants railing against the stupidity of the USPS get lots of attention. As a marketing consultant who goes against the grain and uses direct mail often for clients (Note: Direct mail is NOT dead! Its still as viable as ever if practiced correctly), being known as champion of direct mail marketers against the post office, shows people a lot about how I could help them if hired for a direct mail campaign.
Give it a try and let me know how you did. Post a comment below.
